Meeka Centimano, LSCSW is the Founder and Clinical Consultant for The Pregnancy & Postpartum Resource Center.  Meeka went through postpartum depression after the birth of her daughter in 2000. During her recovery she began to realize there were few local resources available. Out of her experiences came the idea to have an organization devoted to supporting families with postpartum mood disorders. She also wanted to educate others and raise awareness about prenatal and postpartum mood problems. Meeka has been a social worker for over a decade and has spent the last 5 years providing therapy to women in the Kansas City area that are struggling with prenatal and postpartum depression and anxiety. She also educates and trains professionals that interact with pregnant and postpartum women. She is the Midwest Regional Coordinator for Postpartum Support International, is the 2007 recipient of the Jane Honikman Award, and most of all is a healthy mother.
